Believing false doctrine is indeed, A SIN. When we believe in such, our ego's become soul tied to it, and our pride cements it into place. Coming out of false doctrine and into the Truth can be a very cruel cross to suffer. Our ego's want to "save face" and therefore willfully hang onto its self-justified position. Because of this fallen control of us through the hostility to the Truth of the carnal mind, we will refuse the Truth, and cling to that which has been deeply embedded into our belief system by teachers that have become idols unto us. We are prone to listen, and be loyal to, men instead of our Messiah. by LGM
